Jersie Smith of Albany was crowned 2026 America’s International Teen during the America’s International Miss Scholarship Pageant on Sunday.
The national pageant was held August 14–16 in Pigeon Forge. America’s International Miss was established in 2017 and promotes its “love, lead and serve” mission, encouraging community involvement among girls and young women. The organization says its delegates contribute more than 10,000 volunteer-service hours each year.
Smith will be traveling for the next year to various states and places for her reign as “America’s International Teen”.
Smith also won Miss Clinton County Fair 2026 earlier this summer.
She’s a sophomore at Clinton County High School and the daughter of Lance & Leslie Smith Cash.
